A showcase of my guitar string jewelry. All of my guitar string jewelry and bass guitar string jewelry is made from previously played guitar strings. Since most guitar strings are made up of more than one metal, for example steel and nickel, they are not able to be recycled. Unless the guitar strings are given a new use they will just end up in the trash, which makes my guitar string jewelry eco-friendly as well as being beautiful and unique pieces of jewelry.

About Me

I am a S.F. bay area artist who loves to find the beauty in the unexpected. I love to take an object that would appear as trash to another and to turn it into a work of art.
I find my materials in a variety of locations including salvage stores, thrift shops, garage and estate sales, my friends garbage, and the street.
I began making jewelry from found objects 20 years ago when I was in my teens, and I have been making guitar string jewelry for almost a decade.
